39 Brilliantly Designed Login and Sign Up Web Forms

Web forms are crucial for converting visitors into regular users, particularly for web communities, e-commerce and web applications. Designing a registration or sign up form is a bit different from a sign in or login form, as a registration form is the last link between turning a visitor into a user, so the final ‘sale’ must be completed.

A registration form should know it’s ABCs. To quote Glengarry Glenn Ross: “Always be closing!” The registration form should close the deal and make sure the visitor becomes a user.

A login form, on the other hand, should be memorable and remind a user why they are using the site, and that they are valued. Whether that’s a simple “welcome back” or something a bit more extravagant, it never hurts to let the user know that they are a valued member of the community.

This showcase features 39 brilliantly designed login, signup and registration web forms from web companies and platforms around the world. They all exhibit usability qualities, and also have the subtle details that make a form exceptional. You’ll notice a few trends in this post, and especially pay attention to the relative simplicity and the reminders that the site is happy to see you again.
